If you want to learn how to stream your movies and TV series to a big screen, please continue reading!
Showbox is a free Android app that allows users to stream movies and TV shows for free. We consider this app to be one of the most popular free apps available, as it even allows users to watch videos in high definition without any additional cost.
However, Showbox isn’t currently available on the official Google Play store, so users will need to follow these steps to install the app.
Intro
The many features make it easy to use, and we prioritize devices with exceptional features that transform mundane moments into unforgettable experiences.
If you’re having a party at home and want to watch movies or TV shows, you can use Chromecast to connect your mobile device to your TV without the hassle of cables.
What is Chromecast?
Chromecast is a compact and portable media streaming device that connects our smartphones, laptops or other devices with a TV or large screen with a single click. Google Inc. developed this digital tool. At its core, it is an HDMI adapter that can play multimedia content on HD televisions. It streams over Wi-Fi. Users can download the app from the Apple Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play (for Android) to access this functionality.
Issues with ShowBox and screen casting
Many ShowBox users encounter issues when trying to cast their favorite content onto televisions and other devices that support Chromecast.
The problem seems to be caused by MX Player, the default media player for ShowBox, which is unable to transfer media files to casting apps.
To solve this issue, the Showbox community, especially the developers of the AllCast app, have created an alternative to MX Player called GrowBox.
This app mirrors MX Player’s functionality in every way, but it also supports screen casting for ShowBox.
You can easily find GrowBox by searching for it on Google.
Essentials of ShowBox Chrome Casting with GrowBox
Chromecast has transformed ordinary TV sets into smart screens.
- For those with a regular TV, simply connect a Chromecast device to the USB port.
- To get started, download the GrowBox application on your Android phone, making sure that MX Player has been uninstalled.
- Choose your preferred screen casting app, such as Allcast or Localcast, or any other app you prefer.
- Finally, make sure you have a strong Wi-Fi signal to enjoy smooth streaming.
